What Are You Reading?

Opening paragraph . . . Part of the reasoning behind this book is that if you want to be proactive or controversial , you should at least do so knowingly. John Wayne once said that his father taught him never to insult someone unintentionally. Those who balk at suggestions that remarks should be tempered should at least keep that rule in mind. Why harm those whom you do not wish to harm? Why…

A recommendation for "Documentary Summer"

Shoah (Official Trailer)

"The film is over nine hours long, but it is probably the best documentary ever made."

Being truly alive

More pages. Fewer screens. Less (or better yet, no) television. Some radio. More literature. Better films. More family photographs. Classical music or jazz. Fewer magazines. More hand-written notes and letters. More phone calls instead of email. More sleep. Less sugar. Walks. Meditation. More order. Better design. Less anxiety. Greater patience. A love of alertness. An addiction to gratitude. A search for beauty. Appreciating the small things. Knowing that few things are small.

— Michael Wade, “Being Truly Alive” in Execupundit (Dec 16, 2020)

To expect the world to be fair, just, and generous is to ask for a stomach-punch. The world is the world: cruel, kind, unfair, generous, beautiful, ugly, indifferent, exciting, and often, beneath a veneer of civilization, savage as hell.

Execupundit.com: Monday Morning Advice for Leaders

Execupundit.com: Monday Morning Advice for Leaders

Quite a list for aspiring leaders this morning over at Execupundit.com: Monday Morning Advice for Leaders.

Personal favorite:

“Before you hammer a change through the organization, use the hammer on your ego and listen to more people.”

If the leaders I know all took this one idea to heart and actually listened more than they try to lead, more positive change would occur … as if by magic.
